Upcoming Workshops

There’s a couple of things I need to be across that are coming up at work mainly around workshops.

Firstly there’s an AWS workshop on the 12th of May. This will run through how apps are hosted and deployed at 99. The README required that you run through some commands to set things up correctly. It also contains the exercises that I’ll work through.

Secondly I have a Twirp workshop scheduled for 18th of May. This will run through how server to server requests work at 99 and will be helpful in understanding their general architecture.

Taken from the README:

The key concepts this workshop covers are RPC, twirp and the 99designs sdk.

In order to demonstrate these concepts, we will be building two applications. First, we will build a simple twirp server with a few endpoints in go. Second, we will build a php application that makes RPC requests to the go application.

This workshop needs to be completed before the actual date the meeting takes place. It should take around 2 hours. I should try to improve my Go knowledge in order to get the most out of these workshops. Try to make your way through Applied Go in your downtime.

I also need to read the first chapter of Clean Code by Thursday afternoon this week.
